AlanHo Posted December 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 In other words - 'don't PRETEND you know about stuff' - something I say to hubby... :Pandsomes wife must suffer the same - do you remember this post of mine a couple of years ago........................You know this World is complicated and imperfect and oppressedAnd it’s not hard to feel timid, apprehensive and depressedIt seems all around us tides of questions ebb and flowAnd people want solutions but they don’t know where to goOpinions abound about who is wrong and who is rightPeople need a prophet – a diffuser of the lightSomeone they can turn to – as the crisis’s rage and swirlSomeone with the remedy – the wisdom – the pearlWell they should have asked old andsome - He’d have told them with a GROANHis thoughts on immigration, teenage mothers, Gordon BrownThe future of the Monarchy, house prices in the southThe wait for hip replacements, BSE and Foot and MouthYes they should have asked old andsome, he can sort out any messHe can rejuvenate the railways, he can cure the NHSSo any little niggle, anything you want to knowJust run it past old andsome, wind him up and let him goCongestion on the motorways, free holidays for thugsThe damage to the ozone layer, refugees and drugsThese may defeat the brain of any politician blokeBut present to old andsome and he’ll solve it at a strokeHe will clarify the situation, he will make it crystal clearYou’ll feel the glazing of your eyeballs and the bending of your earCorruption at the top – he’s an authority on thatAnd the way the country’s being ruined by a scottish socialist pratUpon these tricky areas he brings his intellect to shineIn a great compelling voice that’s twice as loud as yours or mineI often wonder what it’s like to be so incredibly strong, infallible, articulate, self confident.......... and wrongWhen it comes to simple tolerance – he hasn’t got a lotJoy riders should be guillotined and muggers should be shotThe replies he makes to postings becomes like music to his earsAnd he hasn’t got an inkling that he’s boring us to tearsHe likes to have the last word on almost every threadIf he doesn’t know the answer – he will Google it insteadHis standard answers to joke threads – are becoming quite well knownAs ABSOBLOODYLUTELY BRILLIANT or GROAN GROAN GROAN. He will tackle any subject - from A right up to ZAnd if he's got not much to say - he puts a smilie there insteadHe's the most prolific poster on the Windows ForumSome good, some bad, some in-between and some with scant decorumForum members don’t sign on so often, they have busy lives I knowBut it’s not every day you want to read a windbag suck and blowEncyclopaedias not needed – on them we never callWhy clutter up the bookshelf – when old andsome knows it all..........
